There have been reports of some player’s cars having their speed rating increase, and we have seen reports of specific tuned cars being placed into higher lobbies than normal.
These changes are intentional.
We are constantly striving to provide a more accurate racing experience. Part of that is so we can better detect when a car is going faster than it should. Basically, we want to be better at catching would be cheaters. Due to this newly improved system, we detected some discrepancies that needed to be remedied. We basically found that there was a slight difference in reporting times from our side of the game and the player’s side. In order for our new system to work, that difference needed to be fixed, this is what we did. The effect is that our tool is now more accurate, which helps everyone.
The side effect of this change is that because we eliminated the discrepancy, tunes that were on the border between two lobbies may find that they have been bumped up to the next lobby. For example a speed rating of 1656 used to be at the high end of its lobby, and now it’s been corrected to be at the low end of the next lobby. Additionally, this change could bump up a car’s speed rating as well if it was on the edge.
We apologize for the confusion and will work harder to make sure that the players are informed of these changes and how that might affect cars and racing. This is one step of many in improving the game, so there will be more to come.

As for me, I am strongly considering my future here. I have little desire to continue to pour in time and money to a game where unmeasurable effort can be wiped out so nonchalantly. How much was the end user impact taken into consideration when balancing these lobbies? Was this change important enough to cause all this heartache for us? Was there no other way to mitigate these time reporting discrepancies? Are you prepared to compensate us for the RRC cost we will incur?
If you think this is an insignificant change, think again. I have heard from many that say they are done. We just endured the great hacking era of RR where our losses were significant. Now this.
If nothing else, I hope you learn to take into account customer impact and the importance of communication for any future changes.

Last week first 2 teams self crushed and its game improvement? No more turf tunes. Where is so called improvement?
Thanks
You do realize that if a car is tuned prober its on the edge. So what we have, is basicly yet another fuckup from you IMO useless coders. Hell ive heard in my earpiece, that you guys dont even have any clue, on what times a car can produce in any given lobby. If thats the case, how on earth should this change anything?
ALL of our tunes are yet again ruined. We are talking endless hours and rrc spent on tuning and testing. Are we gonna have any sort of compensation for this stunt? I actully DEMAND that you compensate the whole bunch of us ASAP, This is afterall the second time you pull this stunt, and IMO enough is enough.
Not much to say to that many vets have sold out and moved on. If it aint the stinking glitchers that ruin the game, its the freaking devs.. ANNOYING

Btw funny how you deletet my last post on your blog and your own answer in ryysts blog some months back, did your mouth ran away with you? Hahahahahaha
EDIT. What you guys have been better off with, was either take the times from racing rivals collective records, or hire Daniel Powers AKA Prodigral grim (dont know the guy) for a couple of months to race times for you. Aint excactly rocket sience, is it? But hell no, much better to take and use the first idea, coming up at some breakfast meeting at your office. As usual this is yet another idea from you guys, that havent been thoughtet trough. And imo its kinda left hand work:(
Thanks glu enjoy the excessive support you're getting now
Woo hoo, nice job.
No, I don't like you. I don't have a reason you would comprehend.
The truth is, now the real "tuners" will figure it out. All the recycled tunes that most people use and share are not originals, let the real games begin because I call this the equalizer
Ordinary people get hosed. The big shots get better.
Glu successfully took a huge crap on the game and all those who keep you in business without any warning at all. Don't worry Ryyst, I'll hand you some change on the freeway off ramp when your out of a job and you find out that admins and moderators are a dime a dozen and shouldn't make more than the average high school kid who flips burgers for money to afford his next 20 sack and a forty. I had a feeling you idiots who destroy a good thing and it appears that's extactly what you did. I hope to god someone hacks this POS game and sinks it further down the drain
But if your right, and its that easy, we just need to find our old tunes out again.
And of course most tunes are sharing. Or loss of good cars. Dont tell me you only use your own tunes:)

I really do appreciate your efforts to improve the game, but it would work much better if regular guys like me had a chance to know what to change exactly. So far it's all a pretty big confusion.
Thanks for any info and advice you can give Ryyst.
Wanna improve my game.... leave it the **** alone!
OMG! I Laughed so hard my HEAD FELL OFF
Seriously, you need to tell us what the new lobby ratings are.
If 1650.4 is no longer in the 1650 lobby, then that needs to be updated.
I would like to ask a favor, lol, could you guys add a time and date stamp or at least a date stamp to the post race results? A percentage of us care about the wr ets. And we have no way of knowing if times being reported are new times or old and as you know some people lack integrity. If times reported had the date stamp in the post race ss we'd know it's new. Ty
My apologies to everyone who lost their tunes. I lost mine too but I believe that the game will be better off if more cars are competitive. The best tuners and drivers will still be the best tuners and drivers. It won't be just the guy w the best car beats every other car and if you can't get that car your screwed.
